By Gabriel Gate

Book Overview

An authentic collection of regional recipes from native French chef Gabriel Gaté gathers together the classic recipes from more than a dozen iconic regions of France.

Gaté selects the best dishes from each of the regions, such as chicken casserole vallée d'auge from Normandy, duck ballotine from the Vendée region, scampi and artichoke crpes from Brittany, the colorful ratatouille with lemon chantilly from Provence and, of course, lovely desserts, as only the French can conjure, including the luscious strawberry tart from the Loire Valley or rum savarin from the Lorraine region.
